They seem to have fixed those, despite ignoring that it was completely wrong on all of the Hikaru 1J releases. As far as landing gear go, the big question is, do you want display-worthy landing gear, or pop out wheels like you see on the old Joke Machines? I don't know if I'm sold on the M&M set yet, guess it'll depend on how hard they are to order. I'd probably display them without the packs anyway. ...Except, ohhh wait, Bandai doesn't include the bare fighter mode stand with the super versions...
-
So, there was a picture of the Rod YF-29 on one of Bandai's recent ad things involving a few products, are they finally going to make the super packs for it?

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

I'm tempted to get that copter for the sole purpose of figuring out how on earth they rigged up a counter-rotating prop. What I really need to do though is get back into the game and figure out how to make that 1/18th VF-1S workable. -
Pfft Not really, and honestly, I'm planning on selling off one of my 30th "Focker" schemed ones eventually, so I'd considered selling it loose and putting Alto in that box, but I don't like the idea of shipping one off without the styrofoam to protect it.
-
Not sure if this is what you really mean, but I always thought Dodge actually pulled it off well with the Challenger concept car. They took their standard cross-hairs grille, but squared it off entirely, and buried it in open front end, making it really subtle. The design has changed a couple times since that first year though.
-
Funny question, but is anyone here planning to ditch the packaging for theirs? I acquired a YF-29 a couple years back second-hand with no box, and figured I'd be fine with it, but now my OCD sense is tingling at me. If anyone doesn't want the box and styrofoam bits, I'd be happy to pay a few bucks plus shipping for one.
-
I'm heavily debating which planes to even focus on, because I know some will be more popular than others. Getting Hayate's and Mirage's seems like a no brainer, but honestly, the only other one that really appeals to me is Chuck's, and the eventual 31A (which I might justify a pair of). That might change over the course of the series, but for now it's a relief to my wallet to not feel the need to track down all the releases. Better still, unless they start differentiating the 262s in some way, I'm not seeing much reason to get more than two, maybe three total. Even if the markings on the individual fighters differ, there's been no real attempt to point out which fighter belongs to which character, aside from Keith's.
-
I started doing that after the issues with the 171s, so, that may count as a special case. I just figured having a stash of spare parts to fix things with was a good idea, whether there were any problems reported, or not. If I had the physical space to handle one for each mode, I might indeed grab six, but with so many variants in this show, they're going to pile up fast.
-
I've taken to buying Bandais in pairs just so I can have a set of spare parts to replace anything they forget to put in the box, or explodes on contact with air.
-
I'd bet the differences are how Bandai's going to slip their own DX VF-1 into the mix, they'll claim it's different enough to warrant a separate product license.

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!

Can we just get a new freaking X-wing game on PC for crying out loud? Stop with this console crap and give us a SIM! -
So... looking at that video, it looks like instead of the typical folding nose, this one actually twists at an angle to bend down. Like that mechanism better honestly, but I wonder if it'll lose tension over time.
-
I kind of feel like a new SAC Major would have sold better, but I'm happy I can get this one on sale and do the headswap with my older one. Now if they'd just release a tachikoma in the same scale..
-
Holy crap, that's a good deal.. I'm almost tempted to pick up a 4th one, but I don't have the room.

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
Chronocidal replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
One more reason I wish they'd just skipped the tower. It's so out of scale with the ships, I would have rather saved the money. I might not be able to resist ordering a couple though. -
The only reason I'll get his is to contrast with Mirage. We didn't get a nice blue/red pair in Frontier, because Bandai never ponied up and made Klan's VF-25S (non-canon, schmon-schmanon, that custom job scheme was so pretty.. )

Chronocidal replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Just did a quick search of Amazon, and it looks like the A-wing is already available to ship? I might order a few if the listing is legitimate. -
In general terms, hollow cylinders can be stronger than solid ones, but it probably depends on material properties, and the relative thickness of the cylinder walls. I wonder if a solid peg would have been any better.

Chronocidal replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm personally more interested in the Bandai Falcon than I would be in a Fine Molds one, just for ease of assembly (and probably crisper molding). I doubt that base is included though, since it's big enough for several models, and probably just for display. On the other hand, the individual tiles already exist in the other kits, so it would be easy to put a bunch of them together. Maybe at some point they'll release a bundle pack of assorted base plates to build larger displays for yourself. As nice as those plates are, they're not really big enough individually to mount multiple models together without them running into each other. They really need extra plates to act as spacers. -
Maybe they decided the distance was shorter if they just dug a tunnel from China to North America? Should have taken the Northwest Passage, it would have been faster. I'm waiting a bit to ship my Glaug and final YF-19 together, have to see if HLJ comes up with any sales before my warehouse timer runs out.

Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 9 - READ 1st POST
Chronocidal replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
I'm doing the sudden catch up, watched the entire series up to this point in the past couple days.. I'm starting to suspect that Hayate's going to actually go more toward the Veffidas route, since she never sang to begin with, and we're going to wind up with he and Freya pairing up in his valk for a song and dance act. His plane was already imitating Alto from the second Frontier movie, and we're only a third of the way into the series. I'm probably bringing up things already mentioned, but I need to go read through a couple months worth of discussions before I'm up to speed on the theories. -
Tempted to get a second one as long as it's up, but I really don't need duplicates in multiple scales. Edit: Screw it.. I'll have a spare to keep on my desk at work. What are the odds they'll do a web exclusive release of fast packs for it?
-
Just ordered 1 there as well, not a bad price.

Hrm, might be tempted to try for one of these, just to get the tv-styled missiles and the normal fighter mode stand adapter. Still kind of stupefied they didn't include it with the super pack release. I'm hoping this would be easier to get since they just released the GBP set, and I don't think this is adding anything new.
